I COULDN’T RESIST (which is, of course, why Snoop Dogg made the video, right?–to get all of us “gardeners” into the fold, or at least to his upcoming concert in Cardiff, Wales). I would bet my garden harvest that this is the first video to combine Brassica napobrassica, the giant rutabaga (the British call them “swedes”), with Cannabis sativa, which Snoop Dogg calls “vegetation”–as in “I do vegetation myself, and I want to know your secret.” Whose secret does Snoop want? That of Welshman Ian Neale, whose prize-winning “swede” was 85.5 pounds–and awaits confirmation as a world record. The story on that is here.

OK that was kind of awesome. Gave me a good laugh this afternoon, anyway. Thanks for posting it!
You are welcome, Colleen. I *loved* when he said “vegetation.”
Vegetable matter indeed.
I blogged about this earlier today too – who says us gardeners don’t like to have a good time? Okay, maybe not that good of at time!!!!
did you hear the NPR spot regarding the rutabagaman? about 18:53 in! I loved this clip!!!! Ian Neal is the” Rutabaga man” and he is going to the show!!! http://www.cbc.ca/video/news/audioplayer.html?clipid=2148027447
Thanks, Brian, for the alert — I missed it! Good thing I have you to watch out for me. :)
That swede is one scary looking veggie!
Leave it to Snoop to be high on life and gardening… it’s nice to see the correlation Super-stardom and super gardening. Way to go Ian!!!
